About Gela MIKAVA

 
 
  • Biography

    GELA MIKAVA (b. 1995, Georgia) is a contemporary artist whose emotionally charged paintings explore identity, memory, and the human condition. His work blends architectural precision with gestural abstraction, creating dynamic, layered compositions that invite deep reflection.

    Mikava’s journey as an artist began in Georgia, where he was drawn to the power of visual storytelling from an early age. Today, his works are in private collections worldwide and have been exhibited at major international fairs like the Affordable Art Fair and Battersea Art Fair. His paintings have also been featured at Hessink Live Auction (Netherlands) alongside works by Andy Warhol and Banksy.

    His signature style—textured, expressive, and thought-provoking—has earned him recognition among collectors seeking unique, museum-quality pieces. Mikava’s paintings challenge traditional artistic boundaries, offering a striking fusion of structure and spontaneity.

    With a strong online presence and an ever-growing collector base, Mikava continues to shape the landscape of contemporary figurative abstraction. His works are available for collectors who seek bold, meaningful art with lasting impact.
